They were checked and releasedWhere if it was two men father son and grandson the men would be in jail and sex offenders.

Not that I even think full nudity in public should be illegal its just a matter if fact .... Equals rights and all maybe some things need to be. Looked at again. Making my body illegal in public or even in my back yard is something that troubles me deeply

Was it cold out? I don't really get how child neglect makes any sense here, unless the kids were freezing. Indecent exposure maybe, but plenty of nudists raise kids who don't end up having mental issues.

If you think God is telling you to stroll naked down the street and you're wrong, but obey anyway, what have you lost? Okay, so you've wasted a little bit of time, you might get arrested for indecent exposure, the cops might search your house and bust you for drug possession, and if you're a dude you might get on a sex offender list. However, that all might happen to you eventually anyway - so it's really not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

But, think for a moment - what if it really was God telling them to air out their birthday suits, and they disobeyed?

At best, they would be failing to heed God's calling, and damage their own spiritual growth. They might have failed to give God the opportunity to make his power manifest, bringing just a little more of his glory to earth. At worst, they've proven that they aren't interested in actually risking their own well-being for God, putting their very souls in jeopardy, and condemning themselves to an eternity in hell, which is a lot worse than a couple court appearances.

In the risk-reward analysis, immediate obedience by shining their headlights into oncoming traffic was really a no-brainier.

Jeep2011:So, when the Pope or other religious figure talks to God they are sane but when normal people talk to God they are crazy?

Right. We're supposed to believe that God told Michelle bachmann, Rick Santorum, Newt and Rick perry to run for President at theb same time and all of the ridiculous things Pat Robertson says, but these women are crazy.

Now if God really talked to her and told her to do that, wouldnt you feel dumb for going against the Will of God? And by arresting her, you just doomed yourself to hell by incarcerating his 21st century prophet?
